A Technological overview of Improvised Energetic Materials: Characteristics, Post-blast residues and Detection methodologies.
Abstract: In the prevailing world, among the many tools of terrorists, explosives are the most potent and popular. Technological developments and the easy availability of information exhibit rapid transformation from the dependence on conventional explosive devices to the designing of improvised chemical devices. The security forces and the law enforcement agencies find it difficult to counter the Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) menace without a complete and detailed knowledge about their characteristics …

Advancement of Nanotechnology in Batteries
Abstract: As energy source used by most devices such as smart phones, cameras or computers are Lithium batteries, they are becoming the indistinguishable feature of everyday modern civilization. The higher power efficiency was most appealing attribute when opposed to certain redox power devices. It gives rise for significant concern well into the production of hybrid lithium ion batteries for electric automobiles. At higher density lithium constitutes its ideal anode element in …

Effect of impurity metal (Fe, Co, Ni) on WSex as good hydrogen evolution catalyst
Abstract: Transition metal chalcogenides are recognized as a category of very promising non-expensive and earth-abundant catalysts for Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. Many literature reports appeared recently on metal selenides due to excellent phyco-chemical properties and for HER, this mini review attempt to give some insight on effect of Fe, Co, Ni to WSex toward efficiency of HER. From the literature report showed that presence of impurities activity with WSex following …
